Starting Line

Before given the signal to begin racing, teams are assembled in front of the host as he/she gives basic details on what teams are to expect during the race. Once teams are given the "go"-signal to begin racing, teams are usually instructed to run to their bags and open their first clues that are placed on top of their bags. In later seasons, teams would usually encounter a Starting Line task (see below), which they must perform before proceeding.

US Season 28 was the first to not have a traditional Starting Line. Instead, the race began from the racers' homes across the United States via video link from Phil Keoghan at their first destination.

Starting Line task

A Starting Line task is a task at the Starting Line that teams are required to complete before they can proceed with racing.

Starting Line tasks are usually related to the season's first destination, such as finding a particular registration plate found in Tokyo in Season 15 or finding the Chinese characters for Guangzhou in All-Stars 2014. Some Starting Line tasks may also require teams to get approval from the host.[1]
